Dunkin' Donuts Donates To Dare

June 11, 1998

MANCHESTER — Anna Medeiros, owner of the Dunkin' Donuts at 171 Spencer St., is donating 1,000 coupons for free small fruit Coolattas to the Manchester Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program on Saturday as part of the grand reopening celebration of the shop.

The coupons will be distributed to local youngsters by police officers throughout the summer as a reward to those who are seen wearing safety helmets while riding bicycles. This bicycle safety effort is an offshoot of the Manchester DARE program.

The Spencer Street shop was recently remodeled as part of an overall plan unveiled by Dunkin' Donuts last November. More than 100 shops in the Dunkin' Donuts system have already been renovated, with another 100 slated for conversion in 1998.
